SILENT Piano™

Always in tune with you

LIVE THE ACOUSTIC LIFE

Acoustic authenticity whenever you need it

For pianists who want a piano that will be a true partner in their musical endeavors, or those who want to offer their children the life-long gift of music, Yamaha offers a truly versatile, modern take on this storied instrument. With all the allure of an acoustic piano in a form that you can play without worrying about the time of day or those around you, these instruments will soon become an integral part of your musical life.

Yamaha released the first SILENT Piano™ in 1993, and has continued to improve the sound muting performance of SILENT Piano™ technology. A Yamaha SILENT Piano™ offers the enjoyment of acoustic piano performance, even when played while wearing headphones.

Key sensors equipped with continuous-detection grayscale shutter sensing systems accurately capture the nimble movements and detailed nuances of the pianist's fingers. This makes it possible to execute repeated notes and trills at the edges of keys smoothly and naturally. The sensors are non-contact, so they do not affect the touch of the keys.

Binaural sampling produces natural sound that envelops the player

Yamaha CFX Binaural Sampling provides such natural, all-encompassing sound that you forget you are wearing headphones. Binaural sampling is a painstaking method of recording—special microphones are set up in the same positions as the performer’s ears—done specifically to enhance the headphone listening experience.
